Book St. Tropez Soleil

Book St. Tropez Soleil by Assouline

Description

The legend of Saint-Tropez begins with a dog, a rooster and a martyr; and it leads to movie stars, world-famous artists and distinguished writers. Situated on the glittering French Riviera, Saint-Tropez has been in the spotlight for over half a century, for better or worse, with celebrities flocking to this idyllic spot for its beaches and a dose of Mediterranean sunshine . A picturesque oasis, Saint-Tropez has served as inspiration for a who’s who of notable writers, from Franoise Sagan to Colette; as well as renowned artists Paul Signac and Henri Matisse; and even filmmakers. However, Saint-Tropez would not be the same without the belle of the day Brigitte Bardot, her films and lovers and many other famous couples including Annabel and Bernard Buffet and Bianca and Mick Jagger.

St. Tropez Soleil guides the reader through its historic past and ever-changing present. With annual mainstays such as Les Bravades and Voiles de Saint-Tropez as well as exclusive events like a Chanel fashion show at the quintessentially Tropezian Cafe Senequier and the White Party at Nikki Beach started by Naomi Campbell. But despite the changes, the spirit of Saint-Tropez remains the same and this volume is an ode to the unique joie de vivre that keeps everyone coming back.
